Answer 2

Answer:

A leaky faucet wastes water is 1,200 quarts/month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A leaky faucet wastes 3,600 gallons of water per year.

[1 gallon = 4 quarts]

To find  :  How many quarts of water are wasted per month.

Solution : We have given that

A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 year = 3600 gallons.

We know that 1 year =  12 month

                      1 gallon = 4 quarts.

Then equation become

A leaky faucet wastes water in 12 months  = 3600 *4  = 14400 quarts.

A leaky faucet wastes water in 12 months  = 14400 quarts.

A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 months  =  $\frac{14400}{12}$.

A leaky faucet wastes water in 1 months  = 1200  quarts.

Therefore, A leaky faucet wastes water is 1,200 quarts/month.
